- 31 Bastian Schweinsteiger – 7
Rarely gave the ball away in midfield, and arrived cleverly into the box for Bayern’s goal. Should have perhaps tried to shoot more often, but he always tried to play a killer pass when 20 yards from goal.
- 06 Thiago Alcántara – 8
The Spaniard dictated tempo in Bayern’s midfield. With Arsenal deploying more attacking midfielders than usual, Thiago had time on the ball, and he used it to pass Arsenal out of the tie.
- 19 Mario Götze – (Kroos 59′) – 6
No moments of genius (which he is more than capable of) but the prodigal playmaker drifted between the lines, creating space for other Bayern players with excellent movement. Kroos was brought on to shore up the game.
